MONTRÉAL, April 28, 2025 /CNW/ - Maxi, Loblaw's discount banner in Québec, today announced the upcoming opening of a new store in Caraquet, New Brunswick this fall. This marks the first location for the popular Quebec banner outside of its home province and signals the organization's commitment to providing affordable grocery options to more Canadians.
The expansion reflects the organization's confidence in Maxi's proven business model, which focuses on delivering unparalleled value to consumers without compromising on quality and freshness. The company believes Maxi's strong brand and commitment to meeting the evolving needs of consumers will resonate in this new market.
"At Loblaw, we're always looking for ways to bring value to more communities across Canada, and we believe Maxi offers a wonderful opportunity to do just that in Caraquet," said Melanie Singh, President, Hard Discount Division, Loblaw.

Maxi's success is based on its popular price match policy - Imbattable, its renowned PC OptimumTM rewards program, a priority given to local products, a diverse and constantly evolving product offering, and strategic investments like this one, ensuring an optimal response to the needs of local customers.
